Thank you for the link flouncy!

fluffy I discovered those last week. The highland cow is something I'd love (it's the one with flowers in her mouth).

We have blue sky's but really cold here.
I'm just back visiting dsis (and nephew practically ran towards me in his walker/frame, he loves it)!
Friend and her daughter are visiting soon so I'm cooking sausages, mash and onion gravy.

I just opened my kitchen cupboard (above the worktops) and there was a mouse in there 😭😭 obviously I screamed and slammed it shut then when I went back into it with a box it had gone! 🐭 it was a pretty big one too. The cat has been sitting staring at the dishwasher since so I assume it's under there Hmm

Your cat needs to up its game, Wreck!

We've watched Home Alone 2 this afternoon, while I also did cross stitch. It's bloody fiddly! I'm now back on the one which needs a little finishing off.

Wreck mouse may have been a rat but l doubt it sweetie, l am sure your cat would have gone absolutely nuts! 😄
The Seven World's was beautiful l cried so much and when Told cried at the end because of what we are doing to this world. I can't stop crying 😭. I think it's all wrapped up in Dd2 leaving and DH being poorly and Mum not being well and l am undone 😭

I know I can't either! It's all getting a bit X factor with the saving of the comedy acts Hmm

I love the sausage dog Fanny, thank you he will go with the tree and can pee on it Xmas Grin
Johannes is such a brilliant dancer though, he must be the best they have ever had on there. He was genuinely gutted going bless him ....sob..

Wreck, if Will had been there and Neil was dancing it might have been different but Catherine would have gone quite soon anyway, pity he has gone though, he was such an amazing dancer.

The mouse is in the sitting room! The cat is glancing over at the scuffling but is too lazy to get off of his throne to catch it. Dh is armed with a shoe (sorry!)

Mice don't generally get that big...it may be a baby rat! 😱😱

Cross stitch now done! Back to the other one now. (No idea on number of photos though, sorry!)

Comedy acts always stay for a while. John Sargeant, anyone?

Hello all! Sorry for sporadic contributions but enjoying reading the threads! Tonight I have FINALLY started my Christmas craft... although actually it’s for my mum’s birthday but being as it’s the first of MANY birthdays in my family over the festive season, I count it as Christmas crafting. I am making her a peg doll family tree! Just finished my brother, sister-in-law and niece. :D Really pleased with them.

Also finally finished my minimal-waste Christmas list. www.thingstogetme.com/20421a1b700
I know some people don’t like lists but both mine and DHs families are big list makers.
Feeling kind of guilty that there’s a dress on there when I don’t buy new clothes anymore, but Villanelle is my style icon 😁
